i want to sell my rims and get new ones which ones look the best on the gts
and one other question yellow calipers or blue or purple

 

yellow calipers are normally associated with the ceramic brakes.
and other colours would make a classy car look like a japanese boy racer (imho)

but its your shout.

Can anyone give me a quick lesson on buying new rims/tires. Hypothetically, if I bought a set off eBay, is there anything I should be cautious of? If a seller advertises them as "mounted and balanced with free nitrogen inflation" is there anything else that would need done? Could I change them myself? And finally, what's the deal with the TPMS?

 

Make sure its the right offset .. Right size tire .. Mounted and balanced goes with out saying thats a must ... Tpms is called .. Is a device and to let u know if u have a flat tire just incase u dont relized when u have a flat ...

 

I know that TPMS = tire pressure monitoring system. Last week it let me know my rear passenger tire was flat due to a huge bolt getting lodged in the tread.

I intended my question to ask: What (if anything) is involved with the TPMS when getting new rims? Does the system no longer work? Do I need additional parts from Porsche? Maybe I'm completely off-base but I thought I read somewhere that the TPMS caused additional problems when switching rims.

 

I purchased 20" rims on ebay for my winter tires. My Cayenne came with 21" wheels. I had 4 almost new 20" snow tires from my traded Range Rover Supercharged Sport and it was cheaper to buy 20" aftermarket rims than new 21" snow tires. I purchased tire pressure monitors from the Tire Rack. One of the rims took a some extra weight to balance but other than that absolutely no problems. Bought from this ebayer:

I think he is a tire dealer so if purchasing from him, I would request that he pre balance the wheels and send only wheels that required less than x amount of weight to balance. Unfortunately I don't know what x is. If buying the monitors from Tire Rack, ask them what is a normally acceptable amount of weight to balance a wheel. Maybe it doesn't matter as long as it can be balanced.
